       @lauren I work in industrial automaton, where equipment is expected to be maintainable for decades.  Refurbished and new-old-stock parts for 30 year old Programmable Logic Controllers are readily available from a thriving ecosystem of suppliers.I cringe when I see someone using desktop PCs or android tablets or other consumer hardware in industrial applications - they obviously haven't realized that their hardware will be impossible to replace or repair long before the equipment's end-of-life.

       @juergen_hubert @lauren I'm currently going through a year-long process of upgrading Win XP Labview systems to Win 10.  There's only one LV  version (2015) that supports the old hardware and also runs on Win 10.  We could update hardware, but that requires re-validation of the entire process.  We can't use the customer's desired computer brand because they no longer have PCI slots, so we had to have custom PCs built.
